Huang Automotive is presently operating at 75% of capacity. The company recently received an offer from a Korean truck manufacturer to purchase 26,500 units of a power steering system component for $195 per unit. Peter Wu, vice-president of sales, notes that although there will be an additional $3.00 shipping cost for each component, he thinks that accepting the order will get the company's "foot in the door" of an expanding international market.

Huang's production and cost information for the last two years for the component are as follows:

	206,000 units	230,000 units
Direct material costs	$17,510,000	$19,550,000
Direct labor costs	5,871,000	6,555,000
Overhead costs	20,903,000	22,115,000
Selling and administrative costs	11,769,000	12,045,000
Total costs	$56,053,000	$60,265,000
Total costs per unit	$272.10	$262.02

T.J. Chan, vice-president of engineering, feels that any new market should first show its profitability and that the $195 per unit offer is not only below the regular $260 selling price, but it's below the unit cost of the component. She also points out that there will be additional setup costs of $255,000 and that Huang will have to lease some special equipment for $255,000.
